The Humanitarian Review was a Los Angeles monthly edited by Singleton W. Davis in the first decade of the twentieth century, billing itself as a study of mind, psychic phenomena, ethics and religion by the modern science. Its centre of gravity is American freethought in its rationalist and ethical mode: the criticism and natural history of religion, morality argued without dogma, the memory of Thomas Paine and the living example of Robert Ingersoll, and the practical politics of a minority seeking to lift the social ban its opponents placed on it. What distinguishes the Review from the ordinary secularist press is that it took psychical claims seriously enough to examine them. Mediumship, seances and the survival question appear throughout, handled as evidence to be weighed rather than doctrine to be held, alongside reports of the newer mental sciences and the drugless-living enthusiasms of Southern California. It is best read as a rationalist ethical journal with an investigator's curiosity about the phenomena its neighbours believed in.
